The Central Colleges of the Philippines Mens Volleyball team won the
2005-2006 CUSA Volleyball Championship by beating St. Jude College 3-1
in game three of the Best-of-3 Finals held at the CCP Bobcats Gym last
March 6, 2006. The Bobcats was leading 2 sets to none and was poised of
sweeping the Crusaders but came short in the 3rd set yielding a 25-22
decision that went St. Jude's way. The 4th set was no different from the
third set as both team fought points for points before the Bobcats finally
came away with a 27-25 sqeeker and the Championship. It was a tough loss
for the Crusaders as they finished the Elimination Round on top with an
11-0 Win-Loss card. CCP actually finished the elimination 3rd as it loss
both to SJC and PMI in the Elimination Round. It's an uphill campaign for
the Bobcats as they have to face PMI, who enjoys a twice to beat
advantage, in the cross-over semifinals and needed to win twice, which
they did, in order to advance to the best-of-3 finals. CCP under Coach
Arnaldo Dino have won the CUSA Volleyball Championship 6 times (1997-98,
1998-99, 1999-00, 2000-01, 2002-03 & 2005-2006) in its 11 years of
existence.
